I have a 1999 chevy 4.3 L. I can start it and drive 40 miles then the oil pressure drops. I can turn the truck off thenstart it and it comes back for another 40 miles. I don't know why this is.I have a 1999 chevy 4.3 L. I can start it and drive 40 miles then the oil pressure drops. I can turn the truck off thenstart it and it comes back for another 40 miles.

What year camaro? either way the hard part is getting to it its in the bottom rear of the oil pan, you will have to get the oil pan off by pulling the motor or suspending it in air off motor mounts, when thats done its 1 or 2 bolts, depending on year and engine

Most likely the oil pump light will come on if the oil pressure is low. This light is based on a pressure sensor. Your oil pump is likely not operating to deliver the required pressure. Check that your pump is installed properly.

Possibly a failed oil pump. Check engine oil level first.Make sure it is at least to the safe zone on your engine dipstick. if the motor has not had regular oil changes ( i change mine every 3000 miles like clock work) the oil can sludge and clog oil passages and pickup screen to oil pump.

Changing the oil pump is not easy, the oil pump is situated in the engine oil sump. So you have to go under the car and remove the oil sump pan to get at it. First you have to drain the oil. I recommend you buy a repair manual such as Haynes from a auto parts shop for about $15 before you start the job and follow the instructions in the manual. Good luck

four theories.. two easy.. two not so easy.
one. oil filter is plugged.- change the filter
two. the pick up screen in the oil pan is clogged.- remove oil pan(if you go this far change the oil pump on speculation)
three. the oil pump itself is worn out of tolerance.- remove oil pan, change pump
four. the sensor is defective- change the sensor on side of engine.

the oil light coming on is the most serious .. those cars have a problem with sludge buildup in the crankcase .. usually that happens if the oil isnt changed on schedule .. but sometimes even then ... replacing the oil filter and using a good synthetic oil might make a difference if its not too bad ... the oil pressure switch could be bad or (most expensive), the oil pump could need replacing or cleaned ... you can have an oil pressure test done to determine if the pump is ok .. it is not safe to drive the car if the oil pump is bad, or if the crank case is full of sludge .. serious and expensive damage can happen to the engine .. the pressure switch is not expensive and easy to change .. if the oil pump pressure is ok then i wouild change the pressure switch .. sludge often clogs the intake screen of the oil pump .. then it cant pump oil .. of course this can quickly damage the engine .. you can drop the pan and clean out the sludge but they often just change the oil pump while they have the engine apart .. once its cloged then it can be damaged itself .. the steam coming out of the vents could be the results of engine overheating (from lack of oil) or a leak in the heater core ..

Yes it can, do an oil change and filter. If oil isn't changed at regular intervals, the filter can become clogged and won't get a good flow.
It's best to change the oil every 3 months or 3,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Changing the pump is not an easy job.

take long bolts out that run thru motor mounts ,jack in front of motor all bolts in oil pan out, remove oil pan and then remove oil pump, replace new pump ,torque to specs, replace oil place with new pan gasket , bolts back thru mounts and ready to go, hope to help, thanks robert b.
